In case of low-cost PAV, it is already known that the consumers will want it. Just like the Segway. I have seen ONE of those things. Really popular. Everybody wanted one, didn't they? Not sure if they did. I remember there was a lot of interest, but one must not confuse intellectual curiosity with inclination to purchase. The average consumer simply does not have an extra $5000US ($10,000US in France) for a vehicle that moves slower than the average teenager can run (~20km/h, 12.5mph) and requires 4-6 hours to charge for a range of up to 40km. The exact words used in the pre-launch hype surrounding the Segway were, 'Revolutionary and will change the way the world travels." Pretty much exactly what you are saying about PAVs. |
